Ecocide in Grizzly Creek

by Duff
MAXXAM/Pacific Lumber's relentless slaughter of the ancients continued full throttle over the Solstice weekend in Grizzly Creek, Humboldt County.

Pacific Lumber violated a court "Stay" brought about by an EPIC lawsuit over a bogus government sanctioned "Sustained Yield Plan". Now they have been allowed by the government agencies to destroy occupied Marbled Murrelett old growth Redwoods ("Type E") in Grizzly Creek and in Nanning Creek. Unfortunately, stumps like these are proliferating at a furious rate in Humboldt County, as some of the last unprotected old growth areas are being liquidated.

Two tree-sits are currently up in Grizzly Creek. Zen which was first occupied last spring, is once again occupied, as is a "double" old-growth directly up hill from Zen
§Omar was nearly a tree-sit

§Death in Avalon

The Grizzly Creek old growth just upstream from the State Park is critical habitat for endangered species, and is extremely steep and unstable. Mudslides are almost inevitable, once the forest is removed.
